Marian Evans
I'm very happy to support New Zealand-made films by and about women, on Twitter and Facebook, and in my blogs. And here at Boosted, in a very small way, because I like the idea that if lots of people donate small amounts to projects they like we'll get some great new movies (etc!).
My Development project is For Women Who Make Movies; & For The People Who Love Them. Globally. I also ran #directedbywomen #aotearoa, an annual pop-up programme of films + Q&As, in its third year in 2020.
The most useful interview about my work is here, on Indiewire.
(I'm also intermittently a publisher with the Spiral Collectives, most recently for This Joyous, Chaotic Place: He Waiata Tangi-Ā-Tahu, a CNZ-funded multi-media project celebrating Heather McPherson (1942-2017), poet, lesbian feminist, activist and single mother. And three eBooks: Heather's i do not cede, edited by Emer Lyons; Keri Hulme: Our Kuru Pounamu; and Women's Film Festivals & #womeninfilm Databases. And I assess and sometimes write screenplays.)

Arts in the MediaJoshua Prendeville: Building an Audience on Boosted
Accomplished Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville first came to Boosted in order to help with funding his 2024 Film 'The House Within,' documenting the life and work of 2026 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman. Since then he has gone on to direct an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party,' that was also funded in part through Boosted. His latest project is 'Earthly Shadows,' a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman. For Joshua, Boosted has become a more than just a funding avenue, it's a way to bring his audience onboard at the start of a film's journey and bring that crowd along with him. Joshua was kind enough to share with us his experiences and lessons learned from growing his audience on Boosted, and how he aims to bring them on a journey with his latest project, 'Earthly Shadows.'18 May 2026 -
